Reader Comments on Best 5 Maple Syrups from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Fri, 09 May 2008 16:28:33 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/food/maplesyrup I love maple syrup. I would love to try your winners products, but I support our local maple producers here in The Berkshires--particularly Berkshire Harvest in Lanesboro, MA. (berkshireharvest.com). I am currently enjoying their grade A light amber--a half gallon jug. I love the decorative bottles they use. They also have expanded over the years and have a store stocked with some great items. The location is great also-at the base of Mount Greylock--the highest point in Massachusetts.

It has the best dark amber around!

Surprising that not one VT one was selected!?!? Must not have had any true New Englanders on the panel! Seems the majority of people today prefer the darker grade B (table syrup), while the old time VT/NH/ME natives favor the best-of-the-best Grade A Light Fancy (As I do), which has a more delicate maple flavor, terrific over vanilla ice cream and with home-made (from scratch!!) pancakes, etc. Anyway, there truly isn't any "bad" maple syrup, just subtleties to discover as folks educate their palate! Enjoy!

And you are right - there truly isn't any bad maple syrup!! I cannot believe I've gotten to April 3 without any sugar on snow.

I use it as a base for a sauce for my bacon wrapped scallops.. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:10:51 +0100
